U.S. Congressman Steve King has introduced the American Future Healthcare Act and a substitute amendment to the Continuing Resolution earlier this week. In the introduction of the American Future Healthcare Act that is designed to bring healthcare decisions back to Americans, King said, “The American people have rejected, as they have done for the past six years, the President’s failed healthcare law. […] My bill will bring an end to this nightmare by giving the American people the ability to make their own healthcare decisions by increasing deductible healthcare savings account (HSA) annual contribution limits to $10,000 per individual and $20,000 per joint return.” He also discussed the Continuing Resolution amendment that would set the discretionary budget at the $1.04 trillion level, a $30 billion reduction from the current level, and include defunding 14 major provisions. Items King has included for defunding include Obamacare, transgender bathrooms in schools, the Department of Labor’s Overtime Rule and Planned Parenthood. A full listing of the proposed items be found below.
